Donald Trump starts petition pushing ESPN to show national anthem on 'Monday Night Football'

President Donald Trump is going a different direction in his fight with the NFL over player protests during the national anthem.

Trump is now pressuring ESPN to televise the anthem during its Monday Night Football broadcasts this season. He announced Wednesday he has started a petition to get the network to show The Star Spangled Banner.

In an email to supporters announcing the petition, Trump called ESPN's decision "spineless."

"If 'America' is too offensive for anyone in our country, then what are they doing in America?" Trump wrote.

I really thought that this was going to be a satire article!! On the flip side, it's a good sign as there's an inverse relationship between how much he panders to the idiot racists with dog whistles and how much trouble he's in legally and/or politically.
